SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating two parents after children were left in a car outside a restaurant in Salina on one of the hottest days of the summer.
Just after 2p.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to Wingstop, 1621 S.

Officers located the vehicle with two 7-month-old children, a 2-year-old, a 4-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 13-year-old. The vehicle was not running and had only one window down. The temperature at the time was 97 degrees with a heat index of 102 degrees.
The parents of the children identified as 53-year-old Michael Krueger and 40-year-old Tiffany Krueger both of Salina, were located inside the business.
